Check this out, real quick, don't know if everybody know (Part 5511)....

 Check This Out!

A Brady Bunch dollhouse. 


No Mike and Carol's room, no Mike's working den, and no den on the other side of the kitchen...but I guess they did the best with that they had.

It's so cool to be uncool (Part 785).....

 What's Cool? 

You think you're cool?  Well you'll never be as cool as the cast of the 70's comedy WKRP In Cincinnati. 


Top: Herb Tarlek (Frank Bonner), Arthur Carlson (Gordon Jump)
Middle: Les Nessman (Richard Sanders), Andy Travis (Gary Sandy), Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers), Venus Flytrap (Tim Reid)
Bottom: Jennifer Marlowe (Loni Anderson), Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman)

Was never much into this wen it aired (maybe cause I was like 11 or 12), but a few years later (when I was like 14 or 15) it was in reruns on a local tv station in the afternoons and I watched it after school and fell in love!  It's a hilarious show!  One of the best ensemble cast shows ever.

It's so cool, to be uncool (Part 769)....

 What's Cool? 

You think you're cool?  Well you'll NEVER be as cool as this trio of actresses, who all eventually had their own show, original or spinoff. 


Valerie Harper (Rhoda), Mary Tyler Moore (Mary Tyler Moore Show), Cloris Leachman (Phyllis).

Sadly, they have all passed on already.

It's so cool, to be uncool (Part 660)...

 What's Cool? 

You think you're cool?  Well you'll never be as cool as The Brady Bunch Hour!  


It ran from November 1976 to March 1977.  Disco music, those crazy fashions, dancing, dancing girls, water routines ala Ester Williams, singing, Rip Taylor as the neighbor, and of course, Fake Jan!    

It's guest cast over the episodes included: Tony Randall, Donny and Marie Osmond,  Lee Majors, Farrah Fawcett, Milton Berle, Tina Turner, Vincent Price, Charo, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, Rich Little, Redd Foxx, Rick Dees, and the cast from the sitcom What's Happening?!   

Is there ANY show this side of Love Boat with a more varied, outlandish, and head-scratchingly 70's guest cast than that?  And all in just NINE episodes!  Damn the 70s were something else. 

Course, the omnipresent drugs helped a lot I bet.

It's so cool, to be uncool (Part 647)....

 What's Cool?

You think you're cool?  Well you'll never be as cool as the cast of WKRP In Cincinnati!


I don't know all the actors' names, nor care right now to look them up, but I know all the characters' names:  Les Nessman, Bailey Quarters, Venus Fly Trap, Mr. Carlson, Herb Tarlik, Dr. Johnny Fever, Andy Travis, and Jennifer (I know she had a last name, but really, she's only Jennifer) in front.

It's so cool, to be uncool (Part 643)...

 What's Cool? 

You think you're cool?  Well you'll never be as cool as the original lineup of Good Times at the start of the series in 1974.


We're just a few short months away from the 50th Anniversary of the show...how can that be?  But anyway, of the 6 original cast members, four are still alive and kicking.  I believe only Esther Rolle (Florida) and Ja'Net Dubois (Wilona) have passed on.

Well, frankly, Potsie was kind of a nerd, so you might be cooler than him, who knows?
